The people in my city have dug trenches on the outskirts and prepared defenses. Till not no troop penetration but first two days we had lots of missile attacks.
now there are frequent sirens but no air attack.
im in dnipro. It’s center of ukraine.
Senseless killing of civilians isn’t sitting right with me. I’ve not signed up yet I’m waiting for an attack on our city. Right now we’ve our defenses built but since it’s the center of ukraine, the fight hasn’t come yet. Lots of sirens though and missile attacks first two days
True. Any deal with Americans should include the clause for amraams, otherwise we’re better without fighter jets
F 16 operational cost including overheads is 12-14 k now. 8k per hour flight cost. Pretty cheap even compared to our mig 29s
Unfortunately. Even new production is booked? I thought...
I think we end up with f16s so US can turn a blind eye to next BAL election
And like I mentioned before in the other forum, spending 3 billion on f16 is a better proposition since the capabilities will be similar to eurofighter but we also add numbers which we desperately need. We need...
About hypersonic missiles, there’s currently no known system for defence against them.
as for subs. I agree. We’re far better off having an offensive submarine fleet to engage adversities who’re involved in area denial
The reason I’m not on the stealth camp is because revolution in radar tech is coming and stealth will become redundant. This is why America is also focusing on speed on their next gen platforms
J10c is said to be equal to if not superior to f16 block 60s
Suppose we get f16 block 70 (which is now standard) 12 for 2 billion for what’s supposed to be a workhorse is still going to be too expensive for BAF. You might say economy will grow too… well sure but do you want your pilot to fly...
Ofc tranche 4 tranche 3 is not made anymore. If we place order we will be behind Germany and Spain. Italy possibly too
That would push the delivery eta to sometime post 2026
